I am getting a new 125 Gallon tank in August and I need some help with some stocking ideas.

I currently have two Green Terrors that are going into this tank, male and a female. With that in mind here are a list of fish that I would enjoy/like to keep so could use some help picking tank mates, if there are some cool fish that would go well with GTs that aren't on the list please feel free to post them. I'm trying to find a good mix of color for the tank.

Lemon Oscar
Red Severum
Gold Severum
Jack Dempsey
Electric Blue Jack Dempsey
Cuban
Super Red Texas
Red Terror (Amphilophus festae)
Motagua Cichlid

Again - I don't plan on keeping everything I listed in a 125 Gallon, this is just a list of colorations that I like. I am trying to match a stocking list to go with the Green Terrors.

I think the severum would be ok as long as the green terror are the same size.
 
I'm gonna have to say no to the red terror and managuense. They'd be the last two left in the tank, and then one of them would kill the other.
 
I'm thinking that the Cuban and the SRT will be too aggressive as well and the EBJD won't be able to hold it's own against the GTs.

So I guess that leaves me with the O, Sevs and JD...am I missing any other obvious tank-mate choice here?
 
go ahead and add a jag!
they can be very docile sometimes!
it depends on the individual fish
 
you have a male and female green terror in there already? If they're a breeding pair, it's gonna be a no go for any other fish even in a 125g. If they're not, a JD would make a nice addition for life.
